Dog Days of Summer


Just wanted to share a marketing piece we did to promote our studios next event. We are doing something called 'Dog Days of Summer'. You bring in your dog or cat and receive a free 15 minute session and a free 5x7 of your pet. In return, you bring us a bag of dog or cat food (Science Diet brands preferred) and we donate it to the Amarillo Humane Society. We have a limited number of sessions available on Thursday, July 17th between 1:00 and 7:00 p.m. so call now to reserve your session time!

A lot of friends and family have been asking me if I want to be a pet photographer. Let me clear that up right away - NO! But for one day I think it would be sooo much fun and it benefits a great organization. Now let me just say that I love the idea of families or children bringing in their pet for portraits, but this will be the one time a year that I photograph pets by themselves. I'm going to hire an army of help so that we can wrangle all the animals and kind of have traffic control so that Dog A doesn't meet up with Cat B and we have a throw down. We will have different exits for each animal and try to make the environment as peaceful and uneventful as possible!!! It ought to be a blast! I've already got some 'goodies' donated for the animals so they should feel very pampered during their session time!

(Please do remember to bring your animal into the studio with a leash.)

GNO was AWESOME!!

Wow, 'Girls Night Out' was an awesome success! I don't even know where to begin on my thank you list. All of the vendors were fabulous and made the event so fun!

How Blessed!

I just want to thank all of my friends and family who have been helping to make this event happen and have been surrounding me with prayers and love. How overwhelming to have you come into my studio and pray over me and for me and all the while using all of your gifts and talents to help make this event happen. The acts of kindness (flowers) and just general support is so awesome! How blessed - nothing else to say - just blessed.

Gotta get some sleep! See you tomorrow!
